Energy

This is your daily card reading for Friday, November 14th/14.  Your card today was drawn from the, 'YOGA ~ Inner Spirit' deck authored by Angela Wiens, whom I met at the Panache Desai Immersion on Vancouver Island last August.  Angela was the yoga instructor at the immersion.  Her website is www.yogainnerspirit.com.  Your card is the 'Energy' card and Angela's message for the card is this:
"My vital life force rides on the wave of my breath and fills every cell of my body.  I feel alive and vibrant.
REFLECTION:  How do my thoughts, words, and actions affect my energy and vitality?"

My message for you today is this: 
Angela shares a powerful message with us in the few words expressed on this card.  
The first aspect of her message that I want to address is the power of the breath.  My Akashic Records instructor, Ernesto Ortiz, proclaimed that the breath is the strongest healing tool that there is, and that it is so underused.  Yogic breathing is taught as a tool in manipulating your energy and vitality.  Think about how people often advise you to 'take a deep breath' when you embark on something that may be nerve-wracking or carry some anxiety.  In many languages the word 'breath' is synonymous with the word 'spirit'.  The breath is a beautiful means of connecting to Spirit---of shifting your vibration to a higher place.  Utilize your breath to assist you in shifting your energy level, whether you want to calm and relax yourself; or increase your energy level and 'pump yourself up'.  I LOVE the words I first heard from my yoga instructor well over a decade ago: 'Rest in the stillness of your breath...'   Ahhhhh.....
The other aspect of Angela's message that I want to address pertains to the 'Reflection' part of her card.  Our thoughts, words and actions ABSOLUTELY affect our energy and vitality! The attitude we bring to any situation, opportunity, or challenge: through our thoughts that we think about it; the words that we use to describe it; and the actions you take regarding it; will undeniably impact the results that you experience.  Be CONSCIOUS and CHOOSE!   There is a quote that says, 'Choose your thoughts, and you choose your life'; and another that says 'What you focus upon expands'.  Our thoughts, when we use them consciously, can be impactful.  The attitude---reflected by your thoughts, words and actions---you approach any aspect of your life with, will be made apparent in the way that you experience your life.  
Today, allow yourself to reflect upon the message shared by Angela's card.  To live a conscious life means to understand the interconnectedness of mind, body and Spirit.
You are a powerful being!
Blessed be...
